In a significant move for the team, Monza have officially announced the acquisition of Stefan Lekovic, a promising young defender. The 20-year-old Serbian player joins Monza on loan from Red Star Belgrade, with an obligation for a permanent transfer set at €2.5 million after he makes his sixth appearance.
This strategic signing comes as Monza aims to bolster its defence under the guidance of coach Salvatore Bocchetti. Lekovic’s arrival is seen as a vital addition to the squad as they strive for survival in Serie A. The club’s management has expressed confidence that Lekovic will enhance their defensive capabilities during the second half of the season.
Lekovic underwent medical examinations earlier before finalizing his contract with Monza. His experience includes nine matches in the Serbian league this season, where he has already scored once, and he is also a member of Serbia’s Under-21 national team.
Monza’s official statement welcomed Lekovic, emphasizing their excitement about adding him to the roster. As the team prepares for upcoming challenges, this new reinforcement is anticipated to play a crucial role in their efforts to maintain their position in Italy’s top football league.
